Advisory panel will find a coach soon: Gavaskar

New Delhi: Hoping that the newly-formed advisory panel will soon find a new coach for the Indian cricket team, former skipper Sunil Gavaskar advised one and all to be patient with the BCCI roadmap for making the sport move in the right direction.

With many critics questioning the actual role of Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and VVS Laxman in the advisory panel, he termed the decision as a step in the right direction.

"They had the IPL to run. So clearly they were focussed on the IPL. One can understand that they were not going to rush into an appointment which is going to be as high profile as any. So now that they have appointed their committee, they are certainly looking for some guidance from the playing fraternity and now its a three-man committee,” Gavaskar said.

"They will now come to a decision much faster. By the time Bangladesh tour is done in three weeks or so, you will get a coach," he said.

"I am not going to be judgemental as far as A, B, C, or D is concerned, but I would say that now it is for these three men who have drafted in by the BCCI to take a call," the Little Master answered when asked about Director Ravi Shastri's future with the team.
